Own your scholarship

Move off the aggregator. Own the whole journey.

Aggregators bring applications in. But the student meets their brand, not yours, and the data and the relationship stay with them. We move foundations onto their own platform, so every applicant feels your care from the first click to the last rupee.

The student app, with their application status and what is still needed

The panel's shortlist, and the student's own status in the same cycle.

Weeks of checking. Done in seconds.

Your team used to open every file by hand. Now AI does the first pass, and your people spend their time on the cases that need a human.

  2. 02Identity from Aadhaar and DigiLockerWith the applicant's consent, identity and certificates come straight from the government source. No fake IDs, no blurry scans.
  3. 03Bank accounts checked before paymentA ₹1 test deposit confirms that the account is active and belongs to the student or their parent.
  4. 04Fraud caught earlyDuplicate applicants, edited documents and shared bank accounts are flagged for your team before selection.

An application that works on the phone they have.

Short sections that save as you go, identity in one tap, and uploads checked while the student is still there.

From the people using it.

We used to open eleven thousand files by hand. Now we open the four hundred that need a person, and we know why each one came to us.
Ritu KapoorScholarship Lead, Saahas Foundation
I applied on my phone on the bus. The marksheet came from DigiLocker; I did not photograph anything.
Ananya RaoScholar, second year
Our scholarship had our name on it for the first time. Applicants write back to us now, not to a helpdesk somewhere else.

Quick answers.

  • Yes. We set up your own branded portal, move your past applicants, scholars and documents across, and run the first cycle alongside your team.

  • AI reads each document, pulls out names, marks, income and dates, and checks them against the application. Anything unclear goes to your team with the reason.

  • Students give consent before anything is fetched, every access is logged, and only what you need is stored, in line with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act.

  • No. AI ranks eligible students and explains every score. Your panel reviews the list and makes every final decision.

  • Yes; we stay through launch until your team runs it.

Built for everyone who gives scholarships.
